Judas Priest have announced a North American tour for 2019.

It’s the latest run of shows in support of their most recent album Firepower – and they’ll be joined by special guests Uriah Heep.

The tour will get under way at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on May 3 and wrap up at The Joint At Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on June 29.

Next year marks Priest’s 50th anniversary, with frontman Rob Halford and guitarist Richie Faulkner previously saying that the band were in the early stages of planning a celebration.

Faulkner said: “This is a fantastic milestone for the band and the fans have put Priest there for all this time. This acknowledges the fans more than anything, so it will be all about giving back to them – an event that the fans will really remember.”
